Letting games end in ties would be WAY less popular than the extras runner.

Not the real issue.

[glunn]

Despite today, this was a good homestand.

[IndyTwinsFan]

One worthless single away from getting no-hit in the last 9 innings. What an awesome offensive performance today. NOT!

And all of them singles.

Lewis is looking more and more like Danny Valencia. One half season splash, and downhill from there. He needs to be sent to St. Paul tomorrow, but Bride to replace him? Miranda? Amazing this team is winning as much as they are. Clemens a real surprise and help. This team has to hit. 3-2 against KC and Cleveland. 3 hits today. And Duran can't put them down without contact. On an 0-2 pitch.

Jeffers led off the bottom of the 1st with a double. 

[mrtwinsfan]

Lewis to st paul,  d.f.a. Bride  use Lee at third with castro ,  they got plenty of options with 2nd and 3rd base

[jaimedude]

Agreed, Lewis should be sent to St Paul, not make trip to Tampa. He needs to find his confidence again.

Ehh you started the game with Larnach and Clemens on the bench wasn't a good start. Not blaming Rocco but was a predictable lack of runs.

The bats should be well rested for the Tampa opener, being that they basically couldn't be bothered to even show up today.

When are we going to get a right-handed hitter or two that's even semi-competent against a lefty?  Or any pitcher for that matter.

Apparently Monday. Several people have said Buxton is going to Tampa.

A fine line between Rested and Rusted.

While I don't disagree, the problem is what infielder do we have in the organization who would be noticeably better, offensively and/or defensively?  I'd be hard-pressed to think of even one.

Also be nice to have a lefty pitcher so we could give teams a different look in the course of a three game series.

Except Castro's fielding is inadequate no matter where he plays. And last year was his peak at the plate. (I see the future 😇 )

While I don't disagree, I think that the lack of even a semi-competent offense has been a far bigger problem the past couple of years.

The righty/lefty religion. Batting Lewis and Bride 4 and 5? Lewis is 0-17 again. If the righties can't hit, no need not to give hotter lefties a shot at the same handed pitcher.
